This extra special delicacy from the Gruyere district of Switzerland is well known as the basic ingredient in fondue. But with its delightfully nutty, spicy, full flavor, it is delicious as a table cheese as well. Upon eating Gruyere, one immediately recognizes the taste of whole milk that is used exclusively in making this grand cheese. We say it is grand because a whole wheel of Gruyere weighs about 80 pounds. In fact, it takes over 100 gallons of milk to make a single wheel of Gruyere! Enjoy this traditional favorite julienned into a chef's salad, melted on a hot open-faced sandwich, or, of course, in a classic cheese fondue. Won the Silver Medal in the World Cheese Awards.

This gruyere is so-so for the price, not as good as I've had at a lower price per pound. It comes packaged like an organ for transplant, and at about the same cost! It's cheese, for goodness' sake. It's not going to go bad if it's no refrigerated for a day or two.

This was the real cheese as advertised, AGED gruyere , which is a whole new world compared to [ ], or any other 'domestic' gruyere.

Dee-licious!

Slice it super thin to bring out the succulence and try it on Jacob's cream crackers. Absolutely perfect and will buy again.

Melted delight.

The nut like flavor remains on your taste buds very long encouraging you to repeat eating this flavorful Swiss cheese.

Wonderful company to deal with

I love their Gruyere cheese. I live in an area that does not offer this cheese. I get to enjoy my favorite cheese thanks to igourmet.

Excellent Cheese

I received exactly the cheese I wanted - Gruyere, two 1lb cuts. Seems FedEx delayed delivery again by a day, and the cool box ice pack was melted. But cheese was chilly and tastes great. If you want specialty cheese delivered quick and preserved, igourmet is the place to go.

Very good Gruyere

I thought this gruyere was very tasty and it melted perfectly of course. I will buy it again.

Addictive, yet Affordable

This is a most flavorful cheese, possibly not as pungent as other Gruyeres, but just as satisfying. The full pound was consumed within a mere week, and because it is so addictive, I just could not dilute its flavor in cooked dishes - it had to be devoured alone at room temperature and is already missed.
